And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou <i>wast</i> he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span> thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span>; and they anointed <sup>a</sup><a href="1_chr/11/3a" mark="a" type="A" title="1 Sam. 16: 1.">David</a> <sup>b</sup><a href="1_chr/11/3b" mark="b" type="A" title="2 Sam. 5: 4 (3-5).">king</a> over Israel, according to the word of the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span> by Samuel.
